Los Blancos will try to overturn a three-goal deficit against a confident Arsenal side. The defending champions were stunned in the first leg, with Arsenal producing a brilliant display capped by two mesmerising free-kicks from Declan Rice and a composed finish from Mikel Merino. <\/p><p>The 3-0 win gives the Gunners a commanding advantage as they aim to reach the Champions League semi-finals for the first time since 2009. However, Real Madrid are no strangers to dramatic turnarounds and their fans will expect nothing less than a fast and furious start from Carlo Ancelotti&rsquo;s men. The atmosphere at the Bernabeu will be intense but if the Gunners can stay composed and play with the same belief they had in the first leg, they&rsquo;ll have every chance of reaching the semis.<\/p><figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"500\" data-dnt=\"true\"><p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">Gearing up &#128170; <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/aN89bGZ6Ts\" class=\"trk-cta-link\" data-cta-trk='{\"ctaType\":\"Link\",\"ctaSubType\":\"main\"}'>pic.twitter.com\/aN89bGZ6Ts<\/a><\/p>&mdash; Arsenal (@Arsenal) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/Arsenal\/status\/1912084006515900765?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\" class=\"trk-cta-link\" data-cta-trk='{\"ctaType\":\"Link\",\"ctaSubType\":\"main\"}'>April 15, 2025<\/a><\/blockquote><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script>\n<\/div><\/figure><h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Real Madrid Injury News<\/h2><p>Real Madrid&rsquo;s injury list includes Ferland Mendy, Dani Carvajal, Eder Militao, and goalkeeper Andriy Lunin, all of whom are expected to miss this clash.
